Piece by piece, scientific discoveries have beeu put together to reveal the story of one of the great mysteries of nature, the origin of the nitrate fields In South Ame.rtca. • • According to geological history, the vast, barren desert of Northern Chile in which the nitrate deposits are found was onee the bottom of the Pacific- Ocean. . Millions of years—no orte knows the number—have probably passed sipce Nature buried this treas lire in that desolate plateau thousands of leet above the Pacific. Authorities who have studied the deposits believe that, either as a result of a sudden upheaval or the gradual rising of the continent, great bodies of waters from the Pacific were com pletely enclosed by rising land. A heating sun.'pouring down., upon the inland lakes in this new reghm. grad-, (tally dried up the salt water, destroy ing plant and animal life. Then fol lowed slow oxidation which, with other natural processes, produced almost by magic an entirely new substance— Chilean nitrate of soda, as it is called today. The nitrate, with other min erals, is now found in beds In an area covering 75.000 square miles, 'where It has l»ecn baked and seasoned for cen turles. - It is generally thought that the natural origin of Chilean nitrate ac counts for its unusual record of service to farmers of the world. It contains, besides nitrogen, a number of other important elements—potassium, calci um, magnesium,. iodine, and horun. AU of these are essential for the growth aud health of plants. It is because of the.presence of these ele ments that' Chilean * nitrate is fre quently called "nitrogen plus." It* is more than a sotm** «^f ^■'Id'ingeu.

In this country about three quarters of a million tons are .used annually. According to conservative estimate^, the supply is adequate to meet the need of the world for several centuries, even if the rale of consump tion is materially increased.
